CVE-2016-10041

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An issue was discovered in SPRECON-E Service Program before version 3.43 SP0 that allows non-admin users to execute telegram simulation under certain conditions. This requires prior creation of an online connection and authentication as an administrator.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability may lead to privilege escalation, allowing unauthorized users to perform operations reserved for administrators. This poses a threat to the integrity of the system and data.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the program to the latest version and monitor access to the system to prevent unauthorized operations. Consider restricting access to service computers.

Original NVD description (English source)

An issue was discovered in Sprecher Automation SPRECON-E Service Program before 3.43 SP0. Under certain preconditions, it is possible to execute telegram simulation as a non-admin user. As prerequisites, a user must have created an online-connection, validly authenticated and authorized as administrator, and executed telegram simulation. After that, the online-connection must have been closed. Incorrect caching of client data then may lead to privilege escalation, where a subsequently acting non-admin user is permitted to do telegram simulation. In order to exploit this vulnerability, a potential attacker would need to have both a valid engineering-account in the SPRECON RBAC system as well as access to a service/maintenance computer with SPRECON-E Service Program running. Additionally, a valid admin-user must have closed the service connection beforehand without closing the program, having executed telegram simulation; the attacker then has access to the running software instance.
